Town of Evening Calm is a moving story of survivor's guilt. Country of Cherry Blossoms tells of the child of a survivor and of the survivor's attempts to remain connected as those who lived through the bombing, or touched the lives of those who did, simply die of old age.
I finished the graphic novel about two minutes ago. I'm sad and touched. This is the kind of book I end feeling like I want to hug everyone I know and tell them beautifully profound things.
